Transfer: Summer Transfer Rumors and Discussion Part VI

[HoseEmDown]

The Leicester logjam: Why Brendan Rodgers' transfer plans have been paralysed

Leicester City are the only club in the Premier League yet to make a signing this summer - and they have to sell players before they can buy

www.telegraph.co.uk

Leicester are in huge financial trouble. Need to sell for a supposedly significant amount before they buy.

They'll just sell 10% of their media rights and buy Neymar next week, easy fix.

Lingard was holding out for £180k/week and apparently Nottingham Forest are actually willing to pay it

Just to chime in on the “ego” discussion on Lingard, I think it’s clear he’s motivated by a lot of things other than football. It’s the money, but also all those tertiary things to money: the social media, the clothing line, just general fame. I think it’s craziness to meet anywhere close to the money he wants, especially for a club like Forest, and I’m glad West Ham aren’t getting dragged into that.

No way they can buy Neymar for 5 pounds.

It's ok, this guy doesn't understand either...

Glad I am not the only one

Or maybe it's just bullshit. Not a lot on our end with regards to this player, at least from what I've seen.

that's interesting, because from the english journalists its you and Dortmund that have been linked the most but neither make sense for playing time reasons

Nice backup to Hakimi. Can play CB in a back 3 too.

Hakimi replacement. The Sun says United are going to sign Hakimi

 

[Evilo]

Let me guess : Hakimi+Mendes+Neymar for Ronaldo?

Don’t be ridiculous.

And martial.

What news site do you all use for football?

 

[Evilo]

Wow, so rumor has it Mendes tried to send Ronaldo to Atletico (LOL) and added that he'd play "for a modest salary". And he STILL got rejected

 

[Savant]

I don’t want to hear how benevolent Ronnie is when he has to settle for like Sporting because no one bigger wants him. The spin on this is going to be ridiculous.

Honestly it’s incredibly hilarious.

Twitter really.

Denayer rejected multiple Lyon extension offers over the last two years because he wanted to play for a big clubg on a free transfer this summer.
Turns out he'll sign with Torino with half his current salary.



Also about Ronaldo... OM fans have lauched a RonaldoOM hashtag the other day and it got hot pretty quickly

Brighton is standing firm on a 50+ million dollar price tag for Cucurella. If City wants this done, they got to step up to the plate.

He will take 500,000 more than he took in salary in Lyon, and he arrives in a more competitive and important championship, difficult to blame him.

City love their 40-50m fullbacks

Honestly it’s incredibly hilarious.

He’s the most socially popular athlete on the planet so he can do no wrong. He’s Teflon

I figured, given the amount of embedded news posts...
I meant away from social media but didn't want to discourage posts. Got what I expected =]
I use bbc.com/sports/football
Just wondering if I'm missing something better, but that is pretty good.

Yeah outside twitter that’s probably the best option.

Dunno what their english site is like, but if you're looking for a quick one-stop-shop, I'd check Transfermarkt. Their .de site is a solid collater for german news, so I assume their .com version is solid too.

But twitter & local papers is going to be your best place for primary sources.

Twitter is fine if you stick to the named sources. Especially that are checkmark verified. General tabloid sources are trash. You just need to figure out who the correct best writers are. And obviously never the sun
